Madonna escorted her adopted children, David and Mercy, through London's Heathrow as they arrived back in the country to prepare for their trip to Africa next week. The singer, who looked a little dishevelled as she walked through the terminal wearing sunglasses, will be taking her daughter Mercy to Malawi to meet her family for the first time since she was adopted last summer.

A source told the Sun: "She promised to take them back to their homeland - she sees it as vital they understand their roots." It is thought Madonna, who was joined by boyfriend Jesus Luz at the airport, will also lay the first bricks of her proposed girls' academy during her trip.Did you spot an Easter egg in this story?
